Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present and exchange documents reliably, independent of software, hardware, or operating system. Invented by Adobe, PDF is now an open standard maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). PDFs can contain links and buttons, form fields, audio, video, and business logic. They can also be signed electronically and are easily viewed using free Acrobat Reader DC software. Why PDF? • Uniformity • Ease of Use • Standards Powerpoint Templates TYPES OF PDFS Acrobat Forms (AcroForms) AcroForms are the original PDF forms technology, first introduced in 1998. AcroForms accept input in both Forms Data Format (FDF) and XML Forms Data Format (xFDF). Many 3rd party vendors support AcroForms. XML Forms Architecture (XFA) XFA forms are inherently XML rather than PDF, and are incompatible with conventional PDF files. XFA forms “break” Adobe’s Acrobat software, in the sense that Acrobat cannot be used to modify an AEM Forms Designer-created document. XFA forms are not yet fully supported by third party PDF viewers’ vendors. Currently Adobe AEM Forms server software is required to process XFA forms in a server environment.

  • Best Practices for Model-Driven Development with Adobe® Livecycle® ES2 Guides Guiding People Through the Data Capture Experience
    Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Technical Guide Best Practices for Model-Driven Development with Adobe® LiveCycle® ES2 Guides Guiding people through the data capture experience. Introduction Background Guides in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 are Flash Player compatible wizard-like panels that help guide people through a data capture experience. Guides can dynamically change and adapt based on input data to ensure that only relevant questions are asked and accurate data is captured. These rich and engaging experiences help reduce transaction abandonment rates that are prevalent with more complex data collection interfaces. In LiveCycle ES2, Guides use the concept of model-driven development, which is the next level of abstraction in writing software applications. This abstraction offers improved productivity and makes applications that are higher in quality and easier to create, compared to lower-level development techniques. Model-driven development separates the data structures and constraint logic from the user interface and display logic. Models can then be shared and reused by other applications that capture, display or process the same data. The previous incarnation of guides was known as “form guides,” and used an XDP form as both the model and host of the form guide definition. Form guides were built directly in LiveCycle Designer, and were rendered by LiveCycle Forms into a SWF (pronounced “swiff”) file for display in the Flash Player. With the release of LiveCycle ES2, the Guide Builder tool has been moved to LiveCycle Workbench and a new application model has been introduced. The application model (.fml) is created in the Data Modeler tool, which is also a new part of the LiveCycle Workbench in ES2.

  • (Acrf.Pdf) Using SAS Program, FDF Files, Excel and Javascript in Acrobat Chen-Jung Wu, Firma Clinical Research
    PharmaSUG 2021 - Paper AP-071 An efficient method to review annotation and create bookmark for case report form (acrf.pdf) using SAS program, FDF files, excel and JavaScript in Acrobat Chen-Jung Wu, Firma Clinical Research ABSTRACT A common method to annotate case report form (acrf.pdf) is to use Acrobat comment tool to draw box and add text; however, this method is time consuming. If the case report form is changed due to protocol amendment, it may need another round to annotate manually. Besides, regular SDTM process involves several people to prepare the package including case report form so it always has some inconsistent issues related to typo, font size and font style. Therefore, converting annotation to excel can help to fix typo issue and update wording quickly; comparing the excel with the metadata in xpt and define.xml. Moreover, making use of excel to remap annotation to migrate page to new version of case report form is another efficient method if there are any changes for case report form due to the protocol amendment. INTRODUCTION A case report form is a paper or electronic questionnaire specifically used in clinical trial research. Figure 1. an example of a blank CRF page. An annotated case report form (acrf.pdf) is a blank CRF with annotations that document the location of the data with the corresponding names of the datasets and the names of those variables included in the submitted datasets. Figure 2. an example of an annotated CRF page for SDTM For annotating case report form (acrf.pdf) with related SDTM variables (Figure 3), it is time consuming.

  • Annotating Crfs More Efficiently Noory Kim, Bhagyashree Shivakumar, Statistics & Data Corporation
    PharmaSUG 2021 - Paper AD-036 Annotating CRFs More Efficiently Noory Kim, Bhagyashree Shivakumar, Statistics & Data Corporation ABSTRACT Annotating a CRF entirely by hand can be tedious and time-consuming. Also, the result can be fragile: A change in the CRF, such as the addition or deletion of pages, can require a lot of rework (as it is not possible to drag and drop annotations between pages of a PDF file). How can we streamline our process and make its output more robust? This paper presents a way to update the metadata of CRF annotations iteratively, in which SAS® and SAS XML Mapper process and transfer the metadata between Excel and PDF files. The metadata can be adjusted either by resizing boxes within a PDF file or by replacing values in an Excel spreadsheet. This approach assumes users have access to SAS XML Mapper and a version of Adobe Acrobat that can import and export XFDF files. Knowledge of a programming language other than SAS is not required. INTRODUCTION The annotated case report form (aCRF) is a required component of the clinical data submission package sent to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is a PDF (Portable Document Format) document bundled with the SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) data sets in the package. Manually annotating a CRF can be time-consuming within a PDF editor (such as Adobe Acrobat) due to the inability to drag and drop an annotation between different pages. Also, if the CRF is updated, then the only manual option is to copy and paste between the file with the older version and the file with the newer version.
